Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for a delicious bacon cheeseburger:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend works well for juiciness)
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 8 slices of bacon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise
Instructions:
- Cook the Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Form the Patties: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Patties: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheese on top of each patty and allow it to melt.
- Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place each cooked patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top each patty with 2 slices of cooked bacon. Add any desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise.
- Serve: Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious bacon cheeseburgers!
